Investigation of the Undercoolability of Ni-Based Alloys Using High Temperature Thermal Analysis

During the single crystal (SX) solidification of turbine blades, grain defects can form in the platform regions which have abruptly varying cross-sections. A high undercoolability of a Ni-based alloy prevents the growth of stray grains in the thermally undercooled platform area. To evaluate the unde...

description During the single crystal (SX) solidification of turbine blades, grain defects can form in the platform regions which have abruptly varying cross-sections. A high undercoolability of a Ni-based alloy prevents the growth of stray grains in the thermally undercooled platform area. To evaluate the undercoolability of different Ni-based alloys, temperature measurements were conducted using the same thermal conditions in an Al2O3-SiO2 investment casting shell mold system. Furthermore, the results were compared with stray grains in directionally solidified components.
